GAME COMBINED CUE ANDDISC BACKGROUND or THE m'vsuriou This invention relates to a new-"and. improved gaming device, and, more particularly, to a gaming device including a rotatable gaming table having a flat surface with raised sides and depressed pockets, flat circular discs} and cue sticks to be used to propel said discs against one another and into the ln the past, various games havebeen devised utilizing a table having a flat felt deck with raisedsides and depressed pockets. balls on the deck, and cue sticks to propel the balls. The game is played by moving the balls about the deck into the pockets. Other games, such as,scu ffle board utilize cue sticks to propel discs on a flat surface. 7

SUMMARY or THE mveNnoN The present invention relates to a new and improved gaming device including a gaming table having aIflat surface with raised sides and depressed pockets, circular discs having a flat base, and tapered sticks used to propel one disc against another in order to deposit a disc in the depressed pockets.

. plate 26 that may be connected to ordinary table legs or collapsible legs (not shown). The plate'26 may be used as a base disc. The cue disc 32 may be lar er than the other discs 30 as shown In FIG. 1. Cue discs 32, s own in FIGS. 1 and 3, hasa rounded upper edge to allow a cue stick 34 to propel the disc away from a position adjacent to a raised side of the table. Cue disc 36, shown in FIG. 4, has a depression in the form of a ring in the top of the discs. The sides are slanted,-as shown, in order to allow a player to hit the discs with a cue stick 34 when the disc lies against one of the raised sides of the table 2.

' it should be noted that table 2 may havea circular configuration with the depressed pockets around the edge or with a depressed pocket in the middle ofthef table.

The gaming table is supported by a swivel .inorder to allow the table to be rotated in relation to a player;

It is an object of this invention to-provide a new and improved gaming device.

It isanother object of this invention to provide a gaming device that may be rotated in relation to-a player who may remain stationary.

, A further object of this invention is to provide a gaming in accordance with these and other objects which will be apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with particular reference to the accompanying drawing.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION or rnsoaawmo ln the drawing:

FIG. I, is a top view of the gaming table;-

HO. 2, is a cross-sectional view of -FlG 1, taken along the lines A-A and looking in the direction of the arrows;

FIG. 3, is a cross-sectional view of on'ei'einbodiment of a FIG. 4, is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a disc.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now in detail to the drawing,'-,wherein an embodiment of the invention is shown.- and referring, particularly, to FIG. I, the gaming table, generally designated'by numeral 2, hasa flat playing surface 4 with raised sides 6, l0. l4 and t8, and depressed pockets 8, l2, l6 and ZOat-e'aeh junction of the raised sides. Plastic, fiber glass, or wood may be used in the manufacture of the gaming table 21A fiberglass table will withstand rough use as well as varying weather conditions.

The table-is connected to a swivel 22, shown in FIG. 2. The

In use, the circle 38, drawn on the't'abIe-Z, may be used as a starting circle. The cue stick 34 is used-to strike the cue disc. to propel it against the other discs 30. The discs 30 are propelled in the direction of the depressed pockets. The object of one game played on this gaming device is to place all the discs 30 in the depressedpockets.

When table 2 is placed in a small room, where the wall may interfere with the proper use of the cue-stick", the table may be rotated about on the swivel 22 relative to "the position of the player, so that the cue stick may belmoved in a horizontal position without contacting the walls of the room.

The instant invention has been shownand described herein in what is considered to be the most; practical and preferred depressed pockets in each corner of said playing surface with the adjacent raised side surfaces meeting at a ninety degree angle behind the depressed pocket;

a swivel device connected beneath said flat playing surface to allow said flat playing surface to rotateahout the swivel device;

means connected to said swivel device for supporting said swivel device above a floor surface, a cue stick; and

a plurality of discs to be propelled across said flat playing surface into the depressed pocketssaid discs having a flat bottom surface and an upper top surface with the top surface of at least one of said discs including a central truncated cone configuration, said truncated cone having sides providing a contact surface for said cue stick to propel said discs across said flat playing surface into contact with the other discs.
